Abstract in English
This research was carried out at the Maize Researches Department of
General Commission of Science Agriculture Research (GCSAR), Damascus,
Syria, During the growing season 2010 to study general and specific combining
ability and the behavior of the inheritance of plant height, ear height, yield per
unit area, ear length and ear diameter in sweet corn by the use of half diallel
crosses of five selected sweet corn inbred lines (IL.1037-08) P1, (IL.1062-08) P2,
(IL.1049-08) P3, (IL.209-08) P4 and (IL.1065-08) P5
